moonraker: Lol you got me

Impressive.

Wait!!! are you pondering what i am pondering??

thegoodjoehunt: To be real, I am shocked. How on earth will African players and coaches vote Yaya over Mikel. What was the criteria?

Even last season from 2012-2013, Yaya scored only 9 goals all season for Man City. So what did they use to judge Yaya the best, his form beginning of this season?

Props to Mikel. Many fans are truly grateful for his contribution to Nigerian and African football. Mikel deserved a continental accolade.

I hope Mikel brings his A game to tshe World Cup.

safarigirl: Sorry, Mikel isn't a beast, please choose your word wisely, else you may be called the B word.

Yes, I do expect Mikel to bring his A-game to the world Cup, cuz unlike some kings, he serves his people first before himself

Don't be shocked, I'm sure you figured that an award that has been given to players from French-speaking countries the past 8 or so years would continue in that pattern.

The criteria is simple: You have to come from the French-speaking part of Africa and do okay for your club.

Chill, aite?

Mr Mac-10:
Forget sentiments yaya you're deserved the best African player Mikel should step up and maybe be up for future awards

ednut1: open letter to caf. neva nominate back passer mikel again till he steps us. lazy player. a one legged yaya is beta dan mikel

safarigirl: Enyeama was supposed to win this 2013 own, but he was duly omitted to clear the way for the King.

Don't worry, unlike Toure, Mikel still has about 2 AFCONs and 2 World Cups in him, so he just might win it some day, would you have believed he'd make top 3 two years ago?

Like I said, na only CAF APOTY Yaya get, he'll never win a trophy with his country

I don't care!!! I love it!!!

thegoodjoehunt: Anyone can tag me what they want but the truth is that CAF just belittled their tournament. I don't see why a player should leave his club to play the Nation's cup.

One of the reasons Man City lost the EPL was Yaya going for the Nations cup. If the tournament isn't that valuable, what is the need.



Then, Moses also is beta that yaya because he won everything that mikel won. He is also beta than modric and Alonso and d rest because he won trophies and they didn't . Look at your reasoning
Mikel had been better than Yaya in 2013. They play different roles. Barry covered Yaya last season while Mikel covers Lampard. Different roles. Mikel isn't a footballing demon but he was great last year.

Congrats to Yaya he played well but Mikel deserved it. Mikel just has to try harder.

jotey: how?by not winnin a trophy in 2013?

thegoodjoehunt: No one said Mikel is a better player. We said Mikel was a better player in 2013 than Yaya.

thegoodjoehunt:

"I don't know why Mikel is underrated by the media or the fans," he added. "He is very rated by us in the group and it's a position where you're a bit of an unsung hero.

"You do the dirty work which is not recognised all the time because the goalscorers and more creative players get the recognition. But he is very important for our team." ...........................ROBERTO DI MATTEO (former Chelsea Manager)
